| I'm she Case of Doodle Alderman
O'NeiI.
NEW York, Jan. 31.-In the trial of
Boodler O'Neil to day O'Neil himself was
put on the stand. He said he was fifty -six
| years old and was born in Ireland Had
lived in the third assembly district in this
city forty years, and had carried on a retail
shoe busidess twenty eight years there. He
| first knew Fullgraf when he became an
| alderman in 1884, and knew Duffy in the
board the year before. They and McLaugh-
| lin were Tammany Hall men while he was
County Democrat. He never knew anything
about the Combine" meeting at Fullgraff's
| or McLaughlin's, but had heard rumor that
there was Combine" He never attended
any meeting at Fullgraff's or McLaughlin's,
and was never at McLaughlin's ON
Thirty fourth street for that pur-
pose. He called with Fullgraff on
Mclaughlin in Thirty ninth street, when
Mclaughlin was very ill. He had been to
Fullgraff's to order boxes and afterward pay
his bill. Then, point by point, the testi-
mony of Fullgraf and Duffy affecting O'Neil
was taken up and denied positively. Witness
said the first he heard of the morning meet
ing of August 80 was when a messenger
from the board came into his place Of bust
ness with the call for that meeting It was
$50 or six o'clock in the evening of August
90, and witness was standing at the cutting
board of his shop. The messenger was
Maloney. che said he had a call for a
meeting and asked me to sign it. 1 asked |
him what it for, as I signed it., and |
he said it was for nine O'Clock to morrow |
morning and hurried out. There was moth |
ing singular in his action. He only seemed |
to be in hurry" ONeil said he did not |
know what was the purpose of the meeting |
until he reached the City Hall. Then it was
said the injunction had been removed. The
boards first business was the roll call. Next |
a general order was acted upon, after which
the order dissolving the Lyddy injunction
was read. Then the franchise bill was read
and passed, O'Neil voting in the afirma-
tive. His reason was that the Broad
way company would connect with |
the Broadway and Seventh avenue, the
Blocker street and other cross or branch
roads; also that if the franchise was granted
to them the public could go from the Battery
to Central Park or to almost any other part
of the city for single fare. This was more
advantage than any of the petitions offered.
O'Neil swore that he never had an account in
a national bank, he had an account at a saw
ings bank.
Ex-President Kirk of the board of alder.
men testified that he never called the meet
ing at which the Broadway franchise was
voted. The rest of the evidence introduced
was for the prosecution in support of the
fairness and capacity of the girl Katie Metz,
them moved to dismiss the case on the ground
Of insufficient evidence. This was denied
and Mr.. Brooks began his argument to the
Jury for O'Neil.

for admission to the society. All the original
books and all the first paraphernalia are in
the hands of the original branch.
The meeting last night was for the purpose
of installing two new officers and also for
having good social time. The officers in
cillor, and Mrs. w. E. Spencer,
assistant vice councillor. Then there
was an excellent musical programme,
IN which all who took part most creditably
acquitted themselves. The possessors of the
round, full and beautiful symphonic voices
when during the evening hlled the room
with THEN sweetness in rendering popular
songs were Misses Jennie Manwaring, Flosse
Rowe, May Beers, Ella Griswold, Hattie How
ard, Mrs Elizabeth Monk, Ms. Mary L.
Davis, w. E. Spencer, L. H. Beardsley and
Frank Levere.

patitaa of all yNa1.a fu1Iv satis6a6 Fvarybodv

SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD.
Dung RaTmon Belmont Kills Him
self With PIsfol


self With a Pistol.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Raymend Belm ont,
son % August Belmont, the well known
banker, shot himself dead at 8 O'Clock this
| morning. Young Belmont lived with his
| father at No. 109 Fifth avenue and was as
ISOLATED with the Belmont banking house at
No. IL Pine street. The circumstances of
the shooting were as follows: In the evening
Mr.. Belmont went ont to dinner and returned
about o'clock in the morning in company
with Leonard Behr, night Waterman with
whom young Raymond was well acquainted
and who frequently accompanied him home
together they went down to the basement
where there was shooting gallery in which
young Belmont, who was a very expert shot,
frequently practiced. Here he also had a
stock of revolvers and guns. AS they en-
tered the room young Belmont picked up
double-acting Smith & Wesson revolver, and
turning to Behr said: s'Now I want you to
go and hold gold collar button in your hand
and L will shoot it out" Behr, who had
frequently seen the young man shoot and |
mad great confidence in him, at once agreed |
to do this. He went to close
the door and had just put his hand upon it |
when he heard the report of the pistol Turn |
ing at once he saw young Belmont falling to |
the hoor, blood gushing from a wound in the |
right side of his head. Behr leaned over the |
young man, who opened his eyes, and staring |
at MIN tried to speak, but could not. The |
watchman quickly summoned Dr. Polk and |
two other physicians. They tried to resusci-
tate young Belmont and failed. He died /
soon after the bullet entered his brain Coro-
ner Edman and his deputy were notified and |
arrived before the doctors left. They
found that the bullet had passed |
clear through the skull, entering the right
side of the head and coming out at the left.
The Waterman said the shooting was acct
dental, but the coroner said all the indica-
tons pointed to suicide. 1t was evident that
young Belmont had taken considerable wine
with his dinner. Mrs. Belmont is in Wash
lngton with Congressman Perry Belmont She
was notified by telegraph this morning.
The statements made by DR.. Asch of No. 5
West Thirtieth Street and Prof. Polk of East
Thirty-fourth street to the coroner are in
substance that they had known the deceased
sor some years; that he was of a bright and
cheerful disposition, talented and remarkably
able. He took great interest in athletics
md outdoor sports. He expected to enter
lis fathers business the coming year. Coro-
Ter Nugent endorsed their statements as fol-
ows: can inquisition on the view of the
BODY of Raymond Belmont whereby it is

rom pistol shot wound" The coroner like
